Abstract

Background: Physical activity plays a crucial role in improving sleep quality, physical health, mental well-being, and cognitive function, especially for teenagers. However, in Tan An City, Long An Province, there is a lack of comprehensive research on these issues. Subjects and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2024, involving 360 high school students in Tan An City. Physical activity was assessed based on the WHO recommendations (at least 60 minutes per day). Data on sleep quality and other potentially related factors, including nutritional status, phone usage habits, and after-school hours, were also surveyed. Results: The percentage of students meeting the minimum recommended physical activity duration was 38.7%. Students who did not meet the recommendation were at higher risk of poor sleep quality (OR=2.1; p<0.05) and higher levels of smartphone addiction (OR=1.8; p<0.01). Conclusion: Insufficient physical activity is a concerning issue among high school students in Tan An City, associated with increased smartphone usage and a decline in sleep quality. There is a need for solutions to raise awareness and improve students' physical activity habits.
